it was great mistake, having my trial

entirely OF farmers who knew nothing

The Much Dreaded Grizzly Rear.

OF all the known plantigrades (lat
footed beasts the grizzly is the most
savage and the most dreaded, and he is
the largest of all, saving the presence of
his cousin the polar bear, for which,
nevertheless, he is more than a match in
strength and courage. Some specimens
measure z feet from tip of nose to
root Of tail. The distinctive marks of
the species are its great size; the short
ness of the tail as compared with the
ears; the huge flat paws, the sole Of the
hind foot sometimes measuring Z 1-2 by
5 inches in a large male; the length of
the hind legs as compared with the fore
legs, which gives the beast his awkward,
stumbling gait; the long claws of the
forefoot, sometimes z inches in length.
while those of the hind foot measure only
3 or 4; the erect, bristling name of stiff
hair, often 8 inches long; the coarse hair
of the body, sometimes 3 inches long,
dark at the base, but with light tips.
He has a dark stripe along the back,
and one along each side, the hair on his
body being, as a rule, a brownish yellow,
the region around the ears dusky, the
legs nearly black and the muzzle pale.
Color, however, is not a distinctive mark,
for female grizzlies have been killed in
company with two cubs, of which one
was brown, the other gray, or n dark,
the other light; and the supposed species
of cinnamon" and brown bears are
merely color variations of Ursus horri-

The Chinese Empress PastIme.


The empress regent of China is one
of the most remarkable women of the
age. Not content with directing the in
tricate policy Of the most populous em-
pire in the world with wonderful clever
ness and sagacity, she has now entered
the ranks of competitors for the light
weight championship of the Celestial en-
pire. Attired in a sort of bloomer cos
tune, she takes daily lessons in boxing
from an old eunuch. Her appearance at
the age of so, in short skirt, hitting out
at her venerable preceptor, and OCCASION
ally receiving punishment herself, must
be comical to the last degree, and the re-
ports on the matter form the subject Of a
most disrespectful merriment on the part
of the almond eyed denizens of the Chi
nese metropolis. The empress regent
was a ~concubine of the Emperor Hen
Fung, ON whose death she was appointed
to act as co-regent with the dowager en-
press during the minority of her son, the
late Emperor Tung-Chi.
With unusual ability she has guided
the policy of the empire through the
troublous times which have resulted
from the opening up of the country to
foreign trade, and has so conducted
affairs as to have brought the nation to
an infinitely higher degree of prosperity
and tranquility than it enjoyed when she
took up the reins.-Hong Kong Times.

AN article is going the rounds of the
newspapers relative to a new contri-
button to literature in the form Of a
dictionary of the Cheyenne language,
prepared by Ben Clark of Cheyenne
and Apranshoe agency in Indian Tel
ritory. The manuscript of this work
has been placed in the hands Of Gen.
Sheridan and probably will be sub.
mitted to Prof. Powell, Of the bureau
of ethnology, for examination. In q
report to Sheridan, Lieutenat Durvall,
after making some criticisms Of Clark's
treatment of some subjects, says Of
the dictionary proper: II have count
ed the words defined in the dictionary
and found them to be 4.555 In 'Chey-
enne English 1888 in English Chep-
enue and ia In the list of rivers, ETC.,

has shown himself q natural born lex.
i~cographer. The fact that he alone
has been able to tabulate nearly eight
thousand words, all the meanings of
which have been observed and noted by
himself, he .having no predecessor, of
itself shows what q persistent worker
be has been. His definitions are
singularly clea-. All this reminds US
OF another dictionary, bearing the
printers date OF 1886, about which
very little has been said. It is a die

IT is related Of q young English COW
man Of Wyoming, newly married, that
upon his arrival home from the we'd
ding ''tower" he was requested by his
admiring father-in-law to take a seat
at the head of the table, and do the

Benedict objected to this, saying he
was not accustomed to such things, but
the old gentleman insisted, and at the

RAILROADS.
The policy of our State las been
and still should be to encourage their
continued construction, until all of the
remote parts of the commonwealth
are b ought into rapid and easy com
munication with each other, thus
facilitating and encouraging an inter-
change of products, ideas and associa-
tions, and ccmenting more firmly esch
year the bonds which bind us together
as one homogeneous people.
Until within late years it was gem
orally believed that competition was
the true solution of the railway prob
lem, and that the construction of new
and competing lines would gradually
bring the matter of transportation to
that sound, economic basis encoun-
tered in a other business, aud which
constitutes a check upon monopoly
and imposition. But the science Of
railway management has overcome
this fundamental principle of political
economy Ind has discarded it as u
relic of barborous age. Gigantic
combinations of wealth and power
have absorbed thousands of miles of
detached or independent railways and
have consolidated them practically
into one corporation, under one man
agement, and the same spirit aud skill
have determined at there shall be no
railway competition in this State, but
that all the roads shall enter into ari-
cles of co-partnership, and divide the
profits upon some basis mutually
agreed upon. In modern phraseology
this combination is called "traflic
arrangement" but, in fact, it is the
same pool denounced by our fore
fathers and by the courts of all States
in which it has been legally tested.
| respectfully suggest o your hon
orable bodies the propriety of enact
ing that, hereafter, pooling or COM
binations between railroads and other
cannon carriers shall be deemed un-
lawful; and if any officer, agent, SER
want or employe thereof shall enter
into or execute any ageeoment Of that
character, or shall operate or assist in
operating railroad under such
agreement, or shall knowingly aid or
assist in the management of rail-
road under such arrangement, he
shall be deemed guilty of felony, and
be imprisoned in the penitentiary for
a proper term of years.
